Title is the song 'Rang jo lagyo' from movie 'Ramaiya Vastavaiya'
Sameer reached Mumbai at five in the evening. By six thirty, he had got all papers signed. He called up Rohan from the cab he had taken for airport to catch a flight at nine.
"Yeh kya bhai, aaj hi kyon wapas jaana hai aapko? Ek din toh ruk sakte the na mere paas." Rohan whined when Sameer told him that he wouldn't be able to even meet him.
"Tujhe pata hai yeh papers important hain. In fact, inki wajah se hi aaj ka sudden program bana. Planning ka time hota toh main aur Naina dono aate. Phir aaram se rehte do chaar din tere saath." Sameer explained.
Rohan sniggered, "Rehne do bhai. Naina ke saath aate toh phone karne ka bhi time nahi hota aapke paas, phir chahe ek din ruko ya ek hafta kyonki tab toh aap yahan thodi rehte... kisi hotel mein room book karate... honeymoon suite."
Sameer agreed with every word of his... except one, which made him fume instantly, "Tujhe kitni baar kaha hai Naina ko bhabhi bola kar. Naam se kyon bulata hai?"
"Aur maine bhi bola bhabhi se pehle woh meri dost hai main toh Naina hi bolunga." Rohan countered, laughing silently.
"Shukar kar ghar nahi aaya... warna abhi tera gala dabaa deta. Do hafte saath kaam kiya toh aisi kya pakki dost ban gayi ki mahino se bhabhi hai lekin tujhse bola nahi jaata." Sameer gritted his teeth, hearing her name from Rohan's mouth again.
Unable to keep his laugh under control, Rohan cackled on the other side, "Yaar bhai, aap jalte hue bade cute sound karte ho. Main aapka chota bhai hun, jiski shaadi kuch hi din mein hone wali hai, phir bhi aap har baar mujhpe jealous hoke baras jaate ho. Agar koi sach mein Naina ko I mean, bhabhi ko kuch keh dega toh uska kya haal karoge!"
"Saari haddiyan tod dunga saale ki." Sameer hissed into the phone, as the cab driver looked strangely at him through rear view mirror.
"No violence bhai." Rohan was amused, "Lekin aapki doosri baat mujhe pasand aayi."
"Doosra kya bola maine?" Sameer kept his voice low, checking the driver.
"Saala. Usse saala bana lena matlab bhabhi se rakhi bandhwa dena." Rohan repeated what he had uttered in anger.
Sameer couldn't help but smile, "Aise ideas ka kitna stock hai tere paas?"
"Kitne chahiye bolo? Ek consignment bhijwa deta hun." Rohan chuckled before going back to his original track, "Waise mujhe pata nahi tha itne saare logon se jalte ho aap. Iska matlab Naina ki fan following kaafi huge hai."
"Bye Rohan." Sameer growled, and ended the call. Rubbing his forehead, he peered out, muttering under his breath, "Iss Rohan ke bachhe ne kasam kha rakhi hai mujhe irritate karne ki. Naina Naina ke alava kuch bolta hi nahi."
When his anger subsided, the heavy traffic outside, and snail's pace of the cab registered to him.
"Humein aadha ghanta ho gaya chale hue, abhi tak issi signal pe pohonche hain? Kar kya rahe ho tum?" He questioned the driver in a loud voice.
"Abhi kya karega saab? Shaam se yeh road poora pack hai. Akhha din police ne nakabandi kiya isliye ab jam lag gaya. Yeh road pe aisaich chalega." The driver exclaimed wearily in typical accent.
Sameer checked the time on his phone. He had not taken such delays in account. When he had booked the flight, he was aware that it would be cutting fine time wise as the airport was one hour away but since next flight was at midnight, he decided to take a chance. Frustration started to build in him. He wanted to reach home by midnight. But it looked like it would take forever to reach the airport.
